So quick question for everyone, what is everyone's favorite gaff card included with a deck of cards. Be it a double backer or a blank face, whatever is your preference.

I have started work on a deck of cards recently and had an idea, and before I went through with this idea I wanted some feedback on the general idea first. So what this idea of mine is, is that instead of putting the numbers or the letters in the corners of each card you would write out the value. Like on the two of spades vertically down the card would be the word two followed by the spade like usual, so basically it would just be words instead of numbers on all the cards. So what is everyone's thoughts on this idea and if a deck did this would it add to or take away from the likely hood of you purchasing said deck.

So I have been collecting for a little while now, but my collection isn't that big or great. Also most of my decks, other then the vortex deck, are from ellusionist, so I would like to sort of branch out into other companies, if that makes sense. I'm just wondering what are some really good custom decks that everyone here on the discourse would recommend buying and adding to my collection. Preferable not rare ones only because those tend to be more expensive, so I'm just asking for everyone's thoughts on what are some great decks of playing cards that I should look into.

Salve, hola, guten tag, bon jour, so now that I've said hello in Latin, Spanish, German, and French, hello everyone. I'm Max, or pengiun as it says on my account, you can call me either I don't mind either way. I am a resident of the United States, and I do really like to collect cards, even though my collection is quite small at this time, those cards that i collect I do use for magic, and the occasional cardisty here and there but mostly just magic. What got me into magic was just a few cheesy simple tricks my dad once showed me, and I'm pretty sure me wishing that the magic you see in fantasy books, movies, and things, like Merlin for example, was real and truly possible has kept me at magic, since magic tricks is the closest thing to that kind of stuff that is possible currently, and some "miracles" can actually be accomplished with a deck of cards. Where i heard about The Discourse was I was one of the people who funded and bought the vortex deck off of kickstarter, so really I heard of this from Alex himself I just have been very very very slow at finally signing up, but now I'm here, so hello everyone.
